Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ...
For a couple of years I have had to record in real time the movies made
with my Sony digital still camera to get an audio track. As a result of
reading your post I just downloaded bbDEMUX and it separates audio and
video instantly. How wonderful!!!
Best wishes

I have been giving the following a go:
Tinkertool to give me scroll up and down arrows at top and bottom of
windows
Yasu, MacJanitor and Panther Cache Cleaner to keep it running smoothly
(Yasu perhaps best)
Carbon Copy Cloner which did a fantastic job last year setting up 6
iBooks and various eMacs at Augusta PS
iiUsage which Daniel put me on to, showing my iiNet broadband usage in
the menu bar
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, to show some disbelievers that my
mac will "do Windows"!
Photorescue - haven't paid for it so can't really use it but the demo
showed me that my daughter could retrieve almost all of her Christmas
hol pics that esteemed partner had accidentally deleted from their
Kodak digital camera
BatChmod which I used last year to set up correct privileges for kids
folders in Kidpix,'cos Kidpix wants to store ALL files in the KidPix
Folder with admin privileges only so the kids can't actually save
their masterpieces! (Found that out after an hour with the yr2/3s and
boy were they a little bit annoyed!)
bbDemux which let me separate the sound track from video on a short
movie taken on a Sony digital still camera, which "muxed" the movie.
THen I could edit it in iMovie
a Chronological Calculator which I copied from a website as an html
file and runs nicely as a little mini app, usefull when you're doing
WALNA data analysis and need to calculate the age of children, or if
little Johnny can be enrolled as a kindy kid cos he turns 4 before the
end of June (eg if Rod was born on 4/10/1965 then Rod is 39 years, 11
months, and 25 days old today.) Just need to remember it is in US date
format mm/dd/year.
MorphX which you can use to morph a picture of Rod into a chimpanzee,
weevil or similar ;-) or your newborn daughter to your mother-in-law
to show her what she's going to look like in the future!
Enough for now.
